I have an older dell that the cpu heatsink/fan screws into the case through the fan mounting holes, so either reuse the dell heatsink, or remove the motherboard and cut off those screw holes if your replacement heatsink uses push pins or if it uses a different size screw. Though, that will void the warranty.

But also the dell heatsink Will work with the i5 right? i mean dell did make the same PC i have just with the i5 So basically the answer is use the new cpu, but use the dell heatsink
Yes since dell does not allow overclocking and the i7 4790 has the same TDP 84 watts as the i5, the stock heatsink should work fine. Don't grab a K unless you are getting a new Z series mainboard also.
